ED_019088A_00004400-00002
Federal Emergency Management Agency (" FEMA ") flood hazard area records are not available
for areas neighboring the Facility. The Facility, due to its proximity to the Pemigewasset River,
has reasonable potential to discharge pollutants including oil directly and / or indirectly to a
bordering unnamed tributary / swale that drains to the Pemigewasset River. EPA recommends that
Facility representatives review the property for materials stored or operations occurring in
potential areas subject to flooding / elevated water levels and, if possible, move vulnerable materials
above potential flood elevation. For more information about preparing for natural disasters and
resilience you can go to: https://www.epa.gov/natural-disasters/flooding, and
https://www.epa.gov/sites/default/files/2015-08/documents/flood_resilience_guide.pdf.
Under 40 C.F.R. 122.26 (b) (14) (i) - (xi), stormwater discharges associated with certain categories
of industrial activity are required to be covered under a NPDES permit, unless otherwise excluded.
Facility operations, as reported by the Facility, fall under Category Eleven (xi) which is light
manufacturing. Public information indicates the Facility's primary standard industrial code is
3643, Current - Carrying Wiring Devices, which is an identified code in EPA's 2021 Multi - Sector
General Permit (" 2021-MSGP ").
On June 2, 2021, the Facility completed a federal Notice of Intent (" NOI ") form for reapplying for
NPDES permit coverage under EPA's 2021-MSGP. EPA records show the Facility had permit
coverage under EPA's 2015-MSGP. On August 1, 2021, EPA notified the Facility that discharge
authorization for stormwater and allowable non - stormwater associated with industrial activity
under the 2021-MSGP has commenced and the Facility's NPDES identification number is
NHR05J01D. Facility stormwater discharges are categorized under Sector AC-Electronic and
Electrical Equipment and Components, Photographic and Optical Goods in the 2021-MSGP.
The Facility is submitting to EPA stormwater discharge monitoring reports (" DMRs ") on a
quarterly basis for Outfall 001 and Outfall 006 for indicator monitoring pollutants identified in
Table 8.AC-1 in the 2021-MSGP. Pollutants include hydrogen ion concentration (" PH "), chemical
oxygen demand (" COD ") and total suspended solids (TSS ") 4. The most recent report was
submitted on July 10, 2023, for 2nd quarter 2023 (April 2023 through June 2023). Additionally, the
Facility is submitting annual stormwater reports. Reports were submitted on February 2, 2023, for
the 2022 reporting year, and January 20, 2022, for the 2021 reporting year. Part 7.2 of the 2021-
MSGP requires reports be submitted into EPA via NeT - MSGP system no later than January 30th of
each year for the past calendar year.
On November 10, 2023, the Facility provided EPA with routine facility and visual assessment
stormwater inspection reports from January 4, 2023, through November 7, 2023, and assessment
reports from September 15, 2021, through September 29, 2023. Routine reports should include
time of inspection, a description of any discharges occurring at the time of the inspection, and
observations regarding the physical condition of and around all stormwater discharge points... and
evidence of pollutants in discharges and / or the receiving water / s. Additionally, reports should

4 Table 8.AC-1 in 2021-MSGP.
3
ED_019088A_00004400-00003
include stormwater control measures... implemented since previous inspection, e.g., pavement
sweeping / cleaning, see Part 3.1.6 of the 2021-MSGP.
The visual assessment report for June 9, 2022, shows pH result of 5.37 Standard Units (" S.U. ") at
Outfall 1, and 5.07 S.U. at Outfall 002. Surface water quality limitations are between 6.0 S.U. and
9.0 S.U. Results are not within the acceptable range and may have been a signal for stormwater
contamination and the report should have addressed a probable source. Assessment reports should
also indicate if the sample collected is collected within the first 30 minutes of an actual discharge
from a storm event. If it is not possible to collect the sample within the first 30 minutes of
discharge, the sample must be collected as soon as practicable after the first 30 minutes and the
reason why it was not possible to take the sample within the first 30 minutes must be documented.
In the case of snowmelt, samples must be taken during a period with a measurable discharge, see
Part 3.2.2.2 of the 2021-MSGP.
EPA was provided with the Facility November 10, 2023, Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
(" SWPPP "). The inspector reviewed the Plan and offers the following: add into Section 1.3 of the
Plan, " Indicator Monitor Sampling " and " Routine Facility Inspections " under Individual
Responsibilities, and the Site Diagram in Attachment B of the Plan should show location for
monitoring points for indicator monitoring pollutants, locations of... discharge points
indicating if you are treating one or more discharge points as " substantially identical ", and
municipal storm sewer system and where Facility stormwater discharges to them, see Part 6.2.2.3
in the 2021-MSGP. Additionally, the Site Diagram shows parts of the building roof area included
in certain outfall drainage areas. however, the SWPPP does not discuss drain paths from building
roof drains.
According to EPA records, the Facility has been in operation and introducing federally regulated
categorical metal finishing wastewaters into the Town of Lincoln's Publicly Owned Treatment
Works (" POTW ") prior to July 1983. The Facility has submitted to EPA information indicating it
generates metal finishing process wastewaters from electroplating, and chemical etching
operations. Process wastewaters from the Facility are treated prior to being introduced into the
POTW. Facility metal finishing wastewaters are limited by, among other things, federal
pretreatment existing source standards at 40 C.F.R. Part 433, Metal Finishing Point Source
Category Regulation, and certain other standards and reporting requirements in EPA's General
Pretreatment Regulations at 40 C.F.R. Part 403.
The Facility periodically reports to EPA effluent flow volume and total copper amounts, and
results for other metal finishing standards, i.e., total chromium, lead, zinc, cyanide etc. Flow and
copper amounts are submitted monthly whereas results for other metal finishing standards are
submitted twice per year. In accordance with 40 C.F.R. 403.12, the Facility provided the
inspector with 3-years of effluent results for treated wastewaters introduced into the POTW, i.e.,
August 2020 through October 2023.
The Facility provided EPA with a July 23, 2003, oil Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasure
(SPCC ") plan amended November 10, 2023. Plan comments are provided in an attachment entitled
SPCC Field Inspection and Review Checklist. The plan meets the minimum requirements of the
Rule. According to the plan, the total oil storage capacity for the Facility is 8,888-gallons, the
4
ED_019088A_00004400-00004
largest - single oil storage tank is for a 600-gallon emergency power generator, and potential spill
path / s are to the Pemigewasset River. The Facility also uses a 12,000-gallon underground storage
tank for heating the building.
Under 40 C.F.R 112.3 (g) the Facility is a Tier I qualified facility. Although the Facility meets the
qualification criteria to self - certify, Burndy, LLC has chosen to maintain a P.E. certified SPCC
Plan.
VI. In - Briefing
On October 10, 2023, EPA (Joseph Canzano) contacted James Bailey, Health and Safety Manager
for Burndy, LLC (" Burndy ") to announce an October 23, 2023, EPA inspection. On October 17,
2023, EPA requested pretreatment periodic reports on continued compliance for previous 3-years.
On November 3, 2023, EPA received the reports.
On October 23, 2023, EPA inspectors Shannon Shea, Nafisah Ali, and Joseph Canzano arrived at
the Facility at approximately 9:00 a.m. and were greeted by company representatives Brian
Donavan, Director of Environmental Health and Safety, Kevin Wheeler, Plant Manager, James
Baily, Plant Environmental Health and Safety Manager, and Russell Merrick, Facilities
Maintenance Team Leader. Engineering consultants for the Facility from Brown and Cadwell also
participated in the inspection.
Inspectors presented credentials and requested permission to conduct a site inspection. Facility
representatives granted access. The group then reviewed health and safety protocols and logistics
for conducting the inspection. Inspector Canzano explained the purpose of the inspection and
informed the Facility representative it will include, but not limited to, a review of Facility oil
storage and transfer operations, stormwater runoff locations, potential spill path / s to surface
waters, monitoring outfalls, location of industrial activities and materials exposed to rain, and
wastewater treatment system and monitoring location for industrial wastewaters introduced into
the POTW. Certain implementation records may be requested following the inspection, and
pictures may be taken during the site walk.
Facility personnel explained the Facility is a fastener manufacturer of electrical connectors for the
electric utility industry. Most of the connectors are made of copper and aluminum and coated in
tin, nickel, or copper. The Facility employs approximately 230 employees and typically operates
three shifts per day, five days per week plus a fourth shift on the weekends. The Facility has
annual capacity to process approximately 1.2 million pounds of aluminum and 4.2 million pounds
of copper in rods. The Facility is a 102,000-square foot, single - story manufacturing building that
includes a wastewater treatment plant, metal finishing operations, hazardous waste, and material
storage areas, loading docks, groundwater treatment plant, and parking and landscaped areas.
Additionally, the unnamed tributary skirts along the northern and western side of the property in
which the stormwater outfalls discharge into and eventually drains into the Pemigewasset River.
Compliance monitoring reports for metal finishing standards including cyanide indicate cyanide
samples are collected automatically at the end of the wastewater treatment and at a point labeled
Outfall 001 shown a Facility Wastewater Treatment Flow Diagram. Inspector Canzano informed
5
ED_019088A_00004400-00005
Facility personnel sampling for cyanide may not be occurring in the proper compliance monitoring
location. Facility compliance monitoring reports for cyanide do not include an adjustment
calculation based on the dilution ratio of the cyanide waste stream flow to the final effluent flow.
Under 40 C.F.R. 433.12 (c), self - monitoring for cyanide must be conducted after cyanide
treatment and before dilution with other streams. Alternatively, samples may be taken of the final
effluent, if the plant limitations are adjusted based on the dilution ratio of the cyanide waste stream
flow to the effluent flow.
Production processes include, but are not limited to, metal cutting, tampering, annealing, and
flattening, vibratory deburring, electroplating and chemical etching. Certain processes generate
wastewaters which require treatment. According to effluent flow records, the Facility introduces a
daily average 35,653-gallons of treated process wastewaters into the POTW. The wastewater
treatment plant generates hazardous waste sludge. According to Facility personnel the operation
generates about 30-yards of hazardous waste sludge every 5-weeks.
VII. Site Inspection
The site inspection started by Facility representatives walking EPA's inspection team around the
exterior of the plant. The second part of the day, after lunch, would be for viewing industrial
wastewater treatment operation / s and monitoring location / s.
Inspectors walked around the Facility in a clockwise direction beginning at Stormwater Outfall
001. Facility representatives informed inspectors Outfall 001 is one of two monitoring locations
for collecting samples for stormwater indicator monitoring pollutants. Samples are collected by
Facility personnel in pre - preserved sample bottles and then taken to an outside state certified
laboratory for analysis.
Outfall 001 is a roadside square catch basin that collects runoff from an access road and portion of
guest parking area and is in the southwest corner of the property. Most of the area is asphalt paved.
Facility representatives showed inspectors an electrical transformer, and two storm drains that
gather runoff from the area and divert flow to the manhole for Outfall 001.
According to the SPCC plan, the manhole / Outfall 001 discharges to the unnamed tributary that
discharges to the Pemigewasset River. A release conveyed to this outfall could possibly discharge
to the Pemigewasset River. Inspector Canzano said the catch basin may be connected to the
municipal street storm drain system which discharges into the Pemigewasset River. If the catch
basin to Outfall 001 is connected to the municipal drain system, then the connection should be
identified in the SWPPP site diagram. Inspector Canzano recommends a sign be posted, taking
snowfall amount into consideration, for identifying Outfall 001 location.
Facility representatives walked inspectors to the Stormwater Outfall 002 location. Outfall 002 is
not monitored for stormwater indicator pollutants. The location of Outfall 002 is at the edge / corner
of a paved area used for employee parking and industrial operations and activities, and about ~ 200-
feet from the west side of the building. Industrial activities observed included a transfer station for
a 12,000-gallon underground heating oil (" No. 2 ") tank (" UST "). Facility representatives informed
inspectors the tank is registered with the state underground tank program. Inspector Canzano
6
ED_019088A_00004400-00006
recommends marking of the fill port and plate cover using industrial standard color for type of oil
and stage a spill response scenario for employees for a worst - case release from a tanker truck
offloading heating oil into the UST and / or diesel oil into the emergency power generator unit / s and
prevention measure for protecting the Pemigewasset River.
Adjacent to the UST loading area, against the building and under cover in a shed, Facility
representatives showed inspectors three electrical transformers which contain more than 55-gallons
of dielectric oil. Also observed is a recently installed new emergency power generator and the old
temporary generator. Oil tank capacity for each generator and transformer is identified in the
SPCC plan. The new generator oil tank capacity is 609-gallons while the oil tank capacity for the
temporary tank is 250-gallons. Both use diesel fuel oil. Along the west side of the plant are stacks
and vents for plant plating and wastewater treatment operations.
The industrial activities within the drainage area are unique to Outfall 002. The area for Outfall
002 is an area where potential spills and leaks could occur. Inspector Canzano recommends Outfall
002 become a monitoring location for collecting samples for stormwater indicator monitoring
pollutants. Facility representatives showed inspectors topography of the land and runoff path at
Outfall 002 and an embankment which channels runoff into an unnamed tributary which flows into
the Pemigewasset River. Inspector Canzano recommends oil absorbent spill material be kept near
the Outfall location and to train employees to deploy material.
While walking along the west side of the building, along an access road, Facility representatives
tell inspectors runoff from the area (drainage area 003) enters the woods and does not discharge.
Facility representatives walked inspectors to the back (north side) of the building. Facility
representatives showed inspectors Stormwater Outfall 004 location. Outfall 004 is a pipe located at
the northern edge of the property. Outfall 004 is not monitored for stormwater indicator pollutants.
The Outfall pipe receives runoff from two storm drains located in the back area of the plant. The
area is paved. Facility representatives tell inspectors the discharge path / flow from the Outfall pipe
flows down an embankment to an unnamed tributary which flows into the Pemigewasset River.
Industrial activities and operations observed in the drainage area for Outfall 004 include storage
and material transfer area for hazardous and nonhazardous waste, waste roll off containers,
portable and mobile storage containers, transportation storage boxes, equipment storage, ground
water treatment building, and waste / trash compactor.
Facility representatives show inspectors a Quonset hut type storage structure (the " structure ")
being used for storing and filling a 30-yard roll - off container with federally identified hazardous
waste, i.e., dry metal hydroxide sludge generated from the wastewater treatment system.
According to a Facility Wastewater Treatment System Flow Diagram the dried sludge cake is
labeled F006 and F019 for disposal. F006 is wastewater treatment sludges from certain
electroplating operations while F019 is wastewater treatment sludges from the chemical
conversion coating of aluminum. Facility representatives indicate the company transports off - site a
30-yard roll - off container once every 4 to 5-weeks.
7
ED_019088A_00004400-00007
Inspectors observed two roll - off containers each covered and sealed; one being stored in the
structure and the other outside. Facility representatives informed inspectors the roll - off outside is
empty. Dried sludge is moved from the treatment room into the structure where it is dumped into a
roll - off using a fork truck and self - dumping hopper. Sludge dust can potentially be generated and
released during dumping / emptying step releasing material into the air which settles on the floor of
the structure. While the entrance to the structure is raised any material on the floor has potential to
be tracked out of the structure and onto the pavement. Inspector Canzano recommends pavement
sweeping and cleaning activities be documented on routine facility and / or visual assessment
reports.
The industrial activities within the drainage area are unique to Outfall 004. The area for Outfall
004 is an area where potential spills and leaks could occur from movement of hazardous waste.
Inspector Canzano recommends drain spill mats be kept near storm drain inlets, train employees to
deploy spill equipment, and Outfall 004 discharge pipe become a monitoring location for
collecting samples for stormwater indicator monitoring pollutants.
Facility representatives walked inspectors to the northeast corner of the property and showed
inspectors Stormwater Outfall 005 location. Outfall 005 is not monitored for stormwater indicator
pollutants. The location / drainage area collects surface runoff from an access road that runs along
the east side of the building where there are loading docks, an equipment storage garage, chillers
and condenser units, electrical transformer and a location for storing winter road treatment
materials. Facility representatives tell inspectors the discharge path from the area flows along the
edge of the paved access road toward the northeast corner of the property and then drains into a
wooded area. Outfall 005 is estimated to be about 330-feet from the unnamed tributary. Inspector
Canzano tells Facility representatives industrial activities observed along the east side of the
building and within drainage area Outfall 005 is similar in nature to industrial activities in drainage
area for Outfall 001.
Inspectors are shown Stormwater Outfall 006 location. Facility representatives inform inspectors
Outfall 006 is the other monitoring location for collecting samples for stormwater indicator
pollutants. Outfall 006 is a circular catch basin located in a truck trailer loading dock area. Facility
personnel inform Inspector Canzano they are unsure of the ultimate discharge / drain path for runoff
entering the catch basin. The inspection team observes two other drains within the loading dock
area. Inspector Canzano requests the Facility determine the ultimate discharge / drainage path for all
drain / s and show on SWPPP, SPCC site and / or process flow diagrams. Inspector Canzano also
informs Facility personnel that Outfall 006 may not be a representative location for sampling for
stormwater indicator pollutants if the catch basin / s are determined to be a dry well / s and do not
discharge to surface waters.
End of exterior site walk, and the inspection team leaves the building for lunch. Facility personnel
and inspection team agree to resume the inspection at 1:00 p.m.
Inspectors reenter the building and resume the inspection with Facility personnel. Facility
personnel show inspectors a parshell flume which is used for flow measurement and compliance
monitoring location for treated wastewaters introduced into the POTW. The location is labeled
Effluent Outfall 001 to POTW on a Facility Wastewater Treatment System Flow Diagram. The
8
ED_019088A_00004400-00008
sampling suction line to the sampler is observed to be dirty and stained and the automatic sampler
was unrefrigerated. Inspector Canzano recommends the suction line be replaced and sampler
remain in working order. Inspector Canzano informs Facility representatives an EPA sampling
team may in the future request to enter the Facility, unannounced, to collect a wastewater effluent
sample at Outfall 001.
Facility representatives show Inspector Canzano the cyanide wastewater destruct treatment system.
The system treats wastewaters from cyanide electroplating and rinse tanks, certain floor drains in
the cyanide plating area / s, and a cyanide wet fume scrubber. Wastewaters drain into a 50-gallon
sump prior to being pumped through the cyanide destruct system. Facility representatives did not
know the flow rate / volume for wastewaters entering or exiting the system. Inspector Canzano
suggested obtaining a flow rate specification from sump pump / s.
The cyanide destruct system consists of two 350-gallon rectangular tanks arranged in series.
According to a Facility Wastewater Treatment System Flow Diagram, sodium hydroxide, sodium
hypochlorite and sulfuric acid is added to the tanks from chemical drums using chemical dosing
pumps. The reduction process from cyanide to cyanate to carbonate and nitrogen is monitored with
pH and oxygen - reduction potential (" ORP ") probes. Effluent from the system then flows into a
3,500-gallon collection chamber and mixes with other waste streams including non - cyanide
electroplating process and rinse tanks, floor drain / s, wet fume scrubber / s and other dilute and / or
unregulated streams.
Flow rate volume for other dilute and unregulated streams mixing with regulated streams in the
collection tank may be unknown. Under 40 C.F.R 403.6 (d), except where expressly authorized to
do so by an applicable Pretreatment Standard or Requirement, no Industrial User shall ever
increase the use of process water, or in any other way attempt to dilute a discharge as a partial or
complete substitute for adequate treatment to achieve compliance with a Pretreatment Standard or
Requirement. The Control Authority may impose mass limitations on Industrial Users which are
using dilution to meet applicable Pretreatment Standards or Requirements, or in other cases where
the imposition of mass limitations is appropriate. Under 40 C.F.R 403.6 (e), where process
effluent is mixed prior to treatment with wastewaters other than those generated by the regulated
process, fixed alternative discharge limits may be derived by the Control Authority or by the
Industrial User with the written concurrence of the Control Authority. These alternative limits shall
be applied to the mixed effluent. Inspector Canzano recommends the Facility evaluate and
determine the amount of dilute and unregulated wastewater streams that mix with regulated
process streams prior to treatment. The Facility should refer to EPA Guidance Manual for Use of
Production - Based Pretreatment Standards and the Combined Wastestream Formula, September
1985, https://www3.epa.gov/npdes/pubs/owm0260.pdf.
Facility personnel show Inspector Canzano the Facility's wastewater treatment system. The system
includes metals chemical precipitation and flocculation and sludge press treatments. Wastewater in
the 3,500-gallon collection chamber is gravity feed or pumped through a series of tanks (12-gallon
equalization, 4,100-gallon pretreatment, and two 3,300-gallon tanks for neutralization and
5 Under 40 C.F.R. 403.6 (e) - boiler blowdown streams, non - contact cooling streams, stormwater streams, and
demineralizer backwash streams.
9
ED_019088A_00004400-00009
equalization) prior to being pumped into a 3,500-gallon Lamella inclined plate clarifier. Chemical
addition of sodium hydroxide, sulfuric acid, polymers, coagulates and flocculants occurs, and the
treatment process is monitored with pH and ORP probes. Treatment chemicals are added to certain
tanks from drums and chemical dosing pumps. The effluent from the clarifier is further treated
using sand filters, then flows through the Parshell Flume (Outfall 001) and then to the POTW.
In the wastewater treatment system room, the Facility operates an evaporator unit for certain waste
streams. Inspector Canzano recommended the unit operation be shown on the Facility Wastewater
Treatment System Flow Diagram. Inspector Canzano did not request copies of operation and / or
maintenance logs for the treatment system.
VIII. Closing Conference
Following the site walk, the following issues and observations were communicated to
company representatives:
* NPDES stormwater sampling locations may not be correct for indicator monitoring
pollutants. The Facility is monitoring and reporting for Outfall 001 and Outfall 006. Outfall
001 is like Outfall 005, and Outfall 006 may not have a discharge. Outfall 002 and Outfall
004 are unique, not identical and represent industrial activities and operations occurring in
each drainage area. Facility should change monitoring locations and SWPPP should be
reviewed and amended. Facility should submit updated Notice of Intent to NetMSGP to
reflect these changes.
The Facility is monitoring for total cyanide amount introduced into the POTW in the wrong
location. Pretreatment regulations require self - monitoring for cyanide must be conducted
after cyanide treatment and before dilution with other streams. EPA is requesting the
Facility amend a new pretreatment baseline monitoring report and treatment and production
industrial process flow diagrams and submit to EPA.
The Facility is sending EPA via mail pretreatment periodic reports on compliance. Moving
forward, the Facility is instructed to electronically submit reports via e - mail to Joseph
Canzano at canzano.joseph@epa.gov and R1.ECAD.pretreatment@epa.gov. Reports shall
include information outlined in the attached document, EPA Region I Pretreatment
Monitoring and Reporting Procedures Metal Finishing Point Source Category.
* The inspectors exited the Facility at approximately 3:00 p.m. End of report.
